irbesartan

Irbesartan is a medication used to help lower high blood pressure (hypertension) and protect the kidneys in people with diabetes. It works by blocking a substance in the body called angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, irbesartan helps reduce blood pressure and improve blood flow. This can lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. It’s usually taken once a day, and your doctor will determine the right dose for you. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using this medication.
